Steve McQueen Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 A lot of the pundits are in their 40's or 50's and tend to think back to when they were playing and who were the best teams of around that time. Its why we are still stuck with the idea that Aberdeen and Dundee Utd are and should be top clubs in the top league regardless that the last really successful era for these clubs was the 80's and early 90's 25 to 30 years ago, that's a long time ago as football seasons go and it was a completely different era. Serie A needs a strong Parma imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulloch Gorum Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 On 4/16/2017 at 13:51, GeeJay said: The horrendously unimaginative nicknames footballers give each other. I heard Barry Ferguson on a podcast talking about his old team mates, all of which ended in ‘y’. “Boydy, Molsy, Burky, Naisy” The last great football nickname had to be Hagi - "The Maradona of the Carpathians". But some of the old ones from the 40s and 50s were just fantastic - "The Galloping Major" (Puskás), "Der Papierene" (The Paper Man - Sindelar). "The [Insert Name of Eastern European Town] Thunderbolt". Football looks like it was more fun in the old, unselfconsciousness, somewhat camp days. "Name+y" doesn't really come up to scratch!

Tulloch Gorum Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Worst phrase for me has to be "Colt teams". Piss off. They're youth teams, or under 21s teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dullard Bluteau Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The excruciating inability of those morons who are on national radio to decline the past tense of the verbs "See" and "Go". They don't know who they are because they are never corrected. I am willing to bet Pedro Caixinha or other foreigners would never make the same mistakes.

The one that gets me is using them instead of those. It's so widespread it's almost compulsory footballer speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Sheridan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 "I support Glasgow Celtic. Glasgow Celtic" Seemingly innocuous words. However, I am in Berlin at the moment and these were the words uttered to a girl who sat along the bench from us at the bier halle, and who was with a MASSIVE boyfriend, by some arsepiece with a Celtic tattoo on his shoulder. Fucking cringe. The entire situation was made better by his rapid exit when the MASSIVE boyfriend merely looked at him and then stood up, as he bolted from the building. Celtin fans are starting to get a bit too Brits Abroad. They want to reel it in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
